I have been trading shares and indices for the past 6 years at a prop firm and I am moving to London in the next three weeks. Can anyone point me in the direction of a group of traders renting an office where I can join? I am fully setup already with hardware and accounts. All I need is a desk, an internet connection and cool atmosphere.

Search on desk space for the location in London you are interested then tell other traders here where you are. It is much cheaper to go to a desk space company than a prop shop in the City.

Thanks for the feedback. As I am new to London, I was hoping to find a group of guys already with space rather than starting on my own but I am open to doing that. I will go the route of desk space as I am fully functional already minus a place to sit.

Definitely getting out of your home is the way to go. You will meet people who don't trade which is good as traders don't really share. Look at www.rentadesk.co.ukwww.easyoffice.co.uk etc. There are plenty of deskspace companies all over London. Where are you?

I am interested in an office share if it is based in the city of london and if we can get a few people involved to keep the monthly cost down. There are cheap places like another poster mentioned (easyoffice.co.uk etc), most of these places are nasty though, some dont even have aircon.

There might be groups of traders already set up given that prop firms usually charge £800pm desk fee+ £800pm software (more if you are spreading) but I dont know any.

pm me if interested.

Pm sent.

It's looking like finding existing groups that are already setup is harder then I thought. So I think we should start our own. But not in the cheap and nasty.
